The next day, Shane returns to Elara's residence but the apartment is still empty. Didn't Elara come home yesterday?
A lot of questions on Shane's head. He was also worried half-dead about the condition of his girl. Where is elara? Why don't you go home? Or is he back to teaching?
Yes, Shane's only hope is to go to the university where Elara teaches. He went there and again had to meet with Kyle who seemed to be both looking for Elara's whereabouts.
"He doesn't exist."
Without needing Shane to ask, the man had already explained to her first. This means Kyle is also looking for Elara - as he suspected.
"Where?" shane asked who finally responded to Kyle there.
Kyle shrugged his shoulders. "Say he resigned."
"What?" That made Shane surprised.
Shane did not expect the impact of the quarrel and his coercion of Elara to end up with the girl's departure without saying anything to her. Shane feels guilty here. He regretted. Regret has made Elara have to leave in this state. He should not have acted rashly by coercion. Now that the girl is really leaving without saying goodbye, perhaps Elara is still undecided and has no answer as to what Shane has to offer - mating a run-tempo day.
"Is he planning to return to Indonesia? This is so sudden." Shane smothers his own face, finally he sits lethargic next to Kyle who sets up a reaction not much different from him. Same as not excited.
"Why do you love Elara?" kyle asked who asked Shane there. He switched topics, not even answering what he should have answered from Shane's previous question.
Shane then exhaled slowly. "Elara is the girl who is what she is. She's innocent. His natural attitude is not made up. He's committed to life and I like everything that's on him" she admitted to Kyle.
"You're right, you know him quite well as it turns out," Kyle said without looking at the man sitting not far from him.
"Then do you know where he is?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't be sitting here with you. I will definitely catch up with him without telling you anything. Do you think I'd give my own rivals any info?" Kyle shook off a thin smile that looked slick.
Shane shared a smile. "You alone, why would you propose to her? Aren't you guys friends?"
"I have a great affection for Ela. I gave him time to find a partner. I didn't tie him up, because I thought someone would take care of him. But the more I got here, I thought no one would ever be able to match me when it came to looking after Ela, so I decided to just marry her, so that he wouldn't find it hard to find someone else who could be as good as me to protect him."
Shane's laughing now. "You're overconfident, apparently," he said.
"The reality is so. I've always looked after Ela, especially from a guy like you."
Shane took a deep breath. "If that's the case, find him and keep him back, make sure you find him first rather than me."
Kyle frowned now. Until finally, Shane resumed his sentence.
"If when I meet him again and you're with him, then I'll give up."
Kyle comments on the smile now, but he does not want to hear Shane's words because he knows if the man still has other sentences.
"... but, if one day Elara and I meet again and at that time Elara is still alone-tanpamu-then she is mine!" finish Shane later.
Kyle raised both eyebrows, quite surprised by Shane's utterance as well as his offer.
"So, if I find Elara first means you'll give up?"
"alright. I accept this deal." Kyle's head has crossed several places that Elara might come to.
"But, as agreed, if I find him first and when we meet there is no you in his life, then I make sure that he will be mine."
Kyle nodded in understanding. "Then, Stevi?" tanyakanya.
"From the beginning I've said that I never voted for him. She's not my wife. The baby she contains is also not mine, so I am not obligated to take responsibility for her."
Kyle sniffs his shoulders, looking indifferent, yet he is determined inwardly to find Elara first before Shane finds her. Or at least, Shane will meet Elara again when Kyle has been with the girl, so that Shane can withdraw regularly according to their agreement today.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Elara went to use travel services to a village that she had never actually visited even though. This is not even on his travel list, although the goal is to realize one of his pending dreams.
The problem with Shane is quite strange, making Elara forced to flee. He wanted to calm his heart, especially because he was still insulted by all the words Emma had spoken to him.
Regarding Kyle, Elara knows that Kyle will also look for his whereabouts but at this time Elara really decided to be alone first so that she did not go to a place that her best friend would be able to guess. After all, Elara had already clearly told Kyle that she had rejected the man's proposal. Elara hopes Kyle understands his position and condition.
"I can't accept you, Kyle. I can't marry someone I don't love. I also can't return your feelings, I'll just be a wife who doesn't know herself later" Elara said in her heart. He does not want if later he only torments the inner Kyle if he is married to him who can not repay Kyle's affection with the same love.
"And Shane, I'm sorry. I can't follow your desire to elope. For me, marriage is sacred and I don't want one day to regret taking it all off just for a woman like me."
Elara stared at the expanse of scenery from the window of the travel car she rented. He needed a better new life, although he was not sure how he could live it if half of his heart had been brought along with Shane in Hamburg.
Elara only hopes, if the review of 'fools must meet' will be in favor of her love story.
As the foot of Elara treads on a rural land with a refreshing green expanse. The arrival of Elara was immediately greeted by some small children who welcomed her.
"Hallo, Miss Elara. I'm Jasmine."
"Hi, Miss Jasmine," said Elara kindly. "It turns out you're sweeter than the one in the photo" she said bluntly.
Jasmine chuckled at a glance. "You're just as beautiful as I imagined. You must also have a patient soul" he said back in praise.
"Don't overdo it, we'll teach the kids here together."
"Yup. Hope you're at home. Welcome here."
Elara nodded with a smile rising at both ends of her lips.
From now on, he will choose a new life. Trying to forget things he might not be able to achieve. One of them is Shane, who may not be destined to be his partner.
Elara does have aspirations to teach and serve in schools in the interior and corners. Become a teacher for small students who need support to be able to grow and get better.
